Will this work with auto-updates, on Electron?

Building an Electron app, and using configstore to persist small bits of data. Wondering if this will work when the app auto-updates.

@tjoye20 Did you manage to get an answer to this?

Yes, the config will be preserved when the app auto-updates. The config is stored in a different place. However, I would recommend using electron-config instead, as it's optimized for Electron usage. I'm the author of both.

@safinn Yes, I did. Thank you for following up.

@sindresorhus I chose to stick with configstore, as it works exactly how I need. If I have trouble, I'll update to electron-config. Thank you!
